There are 3 modules in this course

Complete your transformation into a DevOps professional by mastering the philosophy of "Everything as Code." This course focuses on the final piece of the puzzle: removing manual human intervention from the provisioning process. You will learn to use Terraform to "code the cloud," defining VPCs, security groups, and EC2 instances in text files that can be version-controlled and audited. By mastering the Write-Plan-Apply workflow, you will be able to spin up entire data centers in AWS or Azure with a single command.

Simultaneously, we explore the power of Ansible for configuration management. You will learn how to use playbooks and Jinja2 templates to automate the setup of thousands of servers at once, ensuring that every machine in your fleet is perfectly configured and secure. Finally, we integrate proactive monitoring by creating CloudWatch alarms via code, ensuring you are alerted to system issues before they affect your users. This course empowers you to treat infrastructure exactly like software, giving you the power to build, scale, and secure global environments with unprecedented speed and precision.

Move from simple task execution to advanced system state management. This module focuses on the complex file-handling modules of Ansible and the use of Jinja2 templates for dynamic configurations.
